This lecture covers topics related to currency and commodity investments, including forward contracts, commodity indexes, and portfolio strategies. It discusses the implications of monetary policy on bond-stock beta sign, value and momentum in global bonds, and the relationship between stock-bond correlation and economic conditions. The instructor explains the concept of uncovered interest parity, historical excess returns in commodity markets, and the use of currency carry trades as a hedge against inflation risk.
